She looks like a million dollars, is an established model and actress, and is also a happy mother of twins. There was Mystique, Femme Fatale. Today we will look at Rebecca Romijn’s career.
Everyone remembers her well, um … tight-fitting costume in several parts of the X-Men series . No wonder, the costume was blue paint and some stickers. The make-up lasted for hours, but it paid off because her role was remembered by many viewers.
She was born on November 6, 1972. She grew up in California and began her career as a model. As the surname indicates, she is of Dutch origin. During adolescence, her height quickly reached 1.80 and therefore developed scoliosis. This did not prevent her from becoming one of the most popular models, she worked for big boys such as Escada, Christian Dior, La Perla, Tommy Hilfiger, and Giorgio Armani. She has appeared on countless covers for ladies’ magazines. She had a permanent place in the rankings of the most beautiful women in the world.
When she’s done everything in modeling, it’s time for new challenges. The first lead role came, and right away! In 2000, she appeared for the first time as Raven / Mystique. She reprized the role in the sequels in 2003 and 2006. She last appeared in a scene with another portrayal of Jennifer Lawrence in the movie X-Men: First Class.
She was the eponymous Femme Fatale , starring in Rollerball and The Punisher. In 2009, she appeared in another series adaptation of John Updike’s novel, Eastwick (as one of the three witches). She appeared in the lead role in the fantasy-adventure series The Librarians, as well as in several episodes of Star Trek: Discovery , Star Tek: Short Treks . He will reprise his role in the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. She voiced Lois Lane in the animated film The Death of Superman and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. She used her popularity as Mystique by taking on the role of hostess inSkin Wars , body painting program. In 2019, she played the diabolical Danica in the comedy horror film Satanic Panic .
The actress was married twice. Her first husband was actor John Stamos. After the divorce, in 2007 she married Jerry O’Connell, known from the series Sliders: The Fifth Dimension . She has two twin daughters with him.
I’ve become really good at rejecting boring roles of pretty girls, trophy wife, supermodel, beautiful brides. My point is, playing someone who is perfect doesn’t appeal to me at all. It is just boring.
After all, she will probably be remembered for such roles. What do you think?
Happy birthday, Rebecca!
